And fleeing is the best choice. The U.S. can plant its own fucking trees (which it won't) while I finally feel a sense of relief on a trans-Atlantic flight.
Just as Nazi Germany caused millions to flee Europe for the US, Fascist US is causing the first of millions to flee to Europe.
Here's hoping all who make it will be safe for at least several generations.
The weird thing being that all the American gun-nuts have been yammering about their second amendment rights for so long and why it's important that they get to have as close to military issue weaponry as possible at home.
Well, boys & girls... What's happening in your government right now, might literally be the reason for the second amendments exesisting.
The problem with dictators is that people tend to vote them into office themselves, without realizing it. And then fail to dispose of them again, for the same reason.
There's definitely irony.
People have often asked who my idol is. Easy: Ernie Blake. Ernst Bloch, which was not going to go over so well, so, name change. He founded a ski area and set my life in a direction. He fled Germany in the '30s and became an intelligence officer in the U.S. Army.
It's actually somewhat wild to think about. Imagine us putting Muslims in crucial roles for the War on Terror.
Not wild at all - who better to help with intelligence than defectors?
Founder of the school I went to maybe somewhat similar to your idol, having had to flee himself once he spoke out against the regime he'd previously advised on education, then persuaded parents to send their teenagers to him after. It is said the war memorial is one of the few which has British and German in equal measure, so he wasn't successful beyond keeping his own pupils safe whilst they were still his pupils.
Wake every day overwhelmed with dread, and the clinging stench of death and misery coating my everything.
Much like Nazism was not adopted by most Germans, Trumpism does not reflect the vast majority of Americans' beliefs.
One of the first rules of being a strongman is that you flood the zone with the particular brand of shit that inflates your support, such that people start to believe resistance is futile.
Unfortunately, it works.
